Ellis Jones and Adage recently partnered to undertake research about Australia’s mature workforce. Mora than 1.093 Australian men and women took part in the survey published on 16 December. The results revealed a deep sense of mistrust between older employees and their employers and low levels of confidence about finding jobs heading in to 2014.

Key findings were:

79% believe employers don’t value mature workers more than they did 5 years ago

61% motivated by financial return as they head into retirement

Flexible work times most important benefit but experienced in workplaces of only 39%
